Replacing Printer Components
Some printer components, such as the printhead and platen roller, may wear out over time and
can be replaced easily. Regular cleaning may extend the life of some of these components. See
Cleaning Schedule and Procedures on page 99 for the recommended cleaning intervals.
Ordering Replacement Parts
For optimal printing quality and proper printer performance across our product line, Zebra
strongly recommends the use of genuine Zebra™ supplies as part of the total solution.
Specifically, the ZM400 and ZM600 are designed to work only with genuine Zebra™
printheads, thus maximizing safety and print quality.
Contact your authorized Zebra reseller for part ordering information, or see Contacts
on page 11 for contact addresses and telephone numbers.
